Blank Spell

Hi. I'm having trouble finding a blank spell. Like a spell that does nothing (no art) and can be used as a hotkey. Anyone know what I could use? Maybe I need to edit the ability data in the .slk file? Thank you.

You can change war stomp or such a spell to 0 in all values.

Try channel, I think it's under neutral or special or something like that, I've never used it.

Ok. I'll give it a try. But I also need more. I need at least 4 blank spells and anymore you can find (must have different codes)

I think there is 4 spells like war stomp.

Using 4 War Stomps won't work, because they have the same orderstring.

However, using 4 Channels will work, because Channel lets you change the effective orderstring. Just set the different Channels to use different orders that the unit doesn't already have.

I said there were 4 diffrent spells that worked the same way as war stomp, i didnt say you should use 4 war stomps. besides, channeling spells aint instant.

Anyways i've tried both and they don't do what I want. Maybe I didn't say it clear enough.

I'm looking for a ability that doesn't do anything
- No ability art
- No unit casting art

and that when you use you don't have to like select a target. Thank you again.

Are you using FT or ROC?

You can just edit the spells to not have them in FT (also in RoC too I think, but with a bit more difficulty).

Channel is made to be a dummy spell. It has no effect, and can be manipulated to be instant, channeling, point target, object target, AoE target, or none, and has most of the art fields enabled, as well as having a flexible order string. It can have no icon, or it can have one, and it can disable other abilities while it's being used if you so choose.

When I tried using it it didn't show up on my hero. Also can you use it more then once? I need like 4-8 dummy spells.

There's a field with several special properties, and one of them is "Visible", which makes it show its icon on the unit.

And if you set the "Data - base order ID" field to different values for each spell, you can have as many as you can fit on the unit.

ok got it to work. Thank you all.

The question why comes to mind o_O

Well I was thinking of having dummy spells on a unit which would lead to triggered spells.
